Every time I try to create a new world, Minetest stops working and I have to close it. Then windows says that it killed Minetest for reasons of Data Execution Prevention.
I have tried solving the issue before, to no avail - adding Minetest to the DEP exceptions list is impossible.
I think this may be a serious problem, guys...

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Re: Data Execution Prevention
That's weird.
Which version of MT are you using, on which Windows version, and where did you store the MT directory?

Re: Data Execution Prevention
Assuming it is not a bug in Minetest, then it is LuaJIT that is executing data. (Well, doh, obviously; that's what JIT does.) So try a non-LuaJIT build if you find no other way.

The problem is just that almost all builds use LuaJIT...

Re: Data Execution Prevention
Maybe add an exception to the Data Execution Prevention. Windows has a program to do this....

I don't think so... I think UAC and DEP don't have to do much with each other. And disabling UAC is bad!

That has been tried several times in the past. It is not allowed for some stupid reason.
Oh well, looks like I'll have to hack in as the System user to do it...
